USFS MPU9250 without barometer
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi Kris,
Thanks for making the USFS board. It works really well, I am really impressed with the quaternion precision. I am designing a custom board which doesn't require a barometer, the core design is same as the USFS minus the barometer. I am using the config file from the USFS. All setup and parameter initialisation of EM7180 works fine up to the point when I want to read the quaternions. I get EventStatus == 2, SensorStatus == 0x80 and ErrorRegister == 0x28. I assume this is due to the missing barometer. The 0x28 error code doesn't seem to be documented in the PNI docs, so I am slightly guessing here.
Is the EM7180 firmware hardwired to look for the baro device and when it can't find it, it gets stuck? Do you know is there a way to disable byro reading in the algo or would you have a config file that doesn't need a byro? In pass-through mode, interacting with MPU9250 and the EEPROM works perfectly well without problems. I tried setting EM7180_BaroRate (0x58 register) to zero hoping to disable it that way without luck.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
thanks
Mike
Hi Kris
Thanks for your quick reply. I would really prefer running the circuit without the baro. I would be interested in the custom firmware. How can I contact you offline?
thanks
